Dr Kourtney Sims has an unusual combination of skillsets when it comes to menopause, and has really dedicated her continuing education post-medical school to understanding this transition. The Texas-based, North American Menopause Society-certified obstetrician-gynecologist is also an herbalist, a yoga teacher, and a functional integrative women's health advocate. And she's chief medical advisor to Phenology, which is a new US company led by former Silicon Valley executive Jess Graham aimed at offering relief and guidance to women through supplements and rescue remedies.

Highlights:

• What MDs learn about menopause in medical school
• The lack of oversight of menopause treatment
• How the system works in the UK (hint: it’s driven by pharma)
• Her take on the “menopause is a disease” narrative
• The holistic, energetic, ritual-based view of menopause
• Do worse symptoms mean larger health problems?
• Menopause hormone therapy, disease prevention, longevity and antiaging
• HRT + the individual
• Why other countries are doing research on herbs and not the US
• 2 good herbs you may not have heard of for sleep + hot flashes
• Tracking perimenopause by testing progesterone levels
• What the women she sees who have an easier time have in common
